Bay Street - International jazz guitarist and singer John Pizzarelli and his band will perform for one night only, Friday, Nov. 28 at 8 p.m., at the Bay Street Theatre on the Wharf in Sag Harbor. Likened to The Nat King Cole Trio, Pizzarelli's recent release "With a Song in My Heart: John Pizzarelli Sings the Music of Richard Rodgers" marks the latest chapter in a career that spans more than 25 years.

John Pizzarelli

Born in New Jersey, Pizzarelli began playing guitar at age six, following in the tradition of his legendary guitar-playing father, Bucky Pizzarelli. By the age of 20 they were playing together, and since 1992 the John Pizzarelli Trio has been traveling the world over. In 1993, the Trio opened for Frank Sinatra's international tour and joined in the celebration of his 80th birthday at Carnegie Hall.

Pizzarelli's talents extend beyond playing and singing. He has recorded as a bandleader for numerous labels including RCA, Chesky, Stash, and Novus, and in 1997 he appeared in the Broadway musical "Dream." Just a few years later Pizzarelli's trio was featured in the Goldie Hawn-Steve Martin comedy film "The Out of Towners," performing "That Old Black Magic." Television viewers have seen him performing numerous times on all of the late night shows, including Jay Leno and Letterman, as well as for the CBS Early Show, Live with Regis & Kelly, and the Jerry Lewis Telethon.

Pizzarelli continues to tour throughout the United States, Europe and Japan, performing classic pop, jazz, and swing, while setting the standard for stylish modern jazz. In addition to his 8 p.m. performance, Pizzarelli will be interviewed as part of WNYC's "Jazz Inspired" Radio Show with Judy Carmichael. This separate event will be held at 5 p.m. and tickets for both are available at the Bay Street Theatre.

 • Tickets for the 5 p.m. Radio Show interview are $25, while tickets for the 8 p.m. concert are $75. A special offer for both is available by calling the Box Office at 631-725-9500. Check out the full schedule at www.baystreet.org.
